As a child, I too had trauma and adult responsibilities 

I too, slept in my car wondering when I would eat

I too, had dreams of helping others

while learning to love myself

I too, worked hard to stand up

just to get knocked down

I too, wished for better days for others

before I wished them for myself 

I too, had dreams that are now coming true

We may have different dreams, Tiffany

But I am just like you.
